Prostitution
Posted: January 8 08, 10:43 pm
OK, let me preface this by saying I do not condone the act of selling your body or buying sex from a man or woman. I would never do it and I'd be repulsed if people close to me did it.
But tonight I was watching "Cops: Undercover" and they would set up sting operations for prostitution. Now, before watching this I don't think it has ever bothered me, mostly because I've seen it in a scripted form, i.e. movie, TV show.
After watching them sting three guys, I was completely outraged by what the cops were doing to these guys. They would take these heavy set guys who had all but surrendered in their trucks and dragged them to the ground like they were packing guns. They just throw them to the ground, surround them and one guy came up with a large raspberry on his cheek.
At the end of the stings, the cops stood around applauding each other for "taking down some bad guys." Bad guys?! BAD GUYS?! They wanted pleasure! Gross, but for chrissakes, they were some ugly overweight guys who were aroused. A bad guy is someone who prowls for children online, or robs a bank or shoots someone. Trying to get laid consensually does not make you a bad guy.
It was the saddest thing when this guy pulls up and the cutest damn beagle runs up to the Hooker Cam and starts barking happily. I knew this was going to be bad, and when the cops surround his vehicle he was trying to hug his dog good-bye. But the cops had to show this guy who is boss and started mauling him like he had a bomb. I'm surprised they didn't shoot the dog just to add to the misery of not getting laid, getting busted for buying a hooker and being caught on camera.
Thank goodness these kind of laws to ensure the safety of all Americans. Whew.
